If they really are enforcing this policy continuously, and not just once by happenstance, I suspect that Charlotte gets few enough Canadians clearing immigration that they have never yet figured out the difference between Canada and a visa waiver country. CLT has few enough international flights relative to its size in the first place, and all the Canadian flights are (I believe) pre-cleared in Canada.
Could be a ICE supervisor who doesn't know how to do his job snce the CBP website does state "Entry of Citizens of Canada
Citizens of Canada are exempt from the visa and passport requirement of Immigration and Nationality Act (section 212(a)(7).)" . I've arrived in PIT which saw just a few more international arrivals (back about 6-8 years ago) than CLT a few times and never had any problems.
